Example artwork for the Changemakers Exhibition and Prize

As part of  upcoming Australian Social Changemakers’ Festival (#fest4change), ASIX (the Australian Social Innovation eXchange) is inviting social changemakers to enter an artwork to the Changemakers Exhibition and Prize and be in the running for the $3,000 acquisitive prize.

Art has always had the power to make a difference – to change the way we look at things, the way we feel about things and indeed, the things we consider at all. And historically, art has played a central role in defining society and bringing about positive change.

This is a unique opportunity for you to promote your cause in a playful and interactive way, and be in the running for the $3,000 acquisitive prize.
So enter here today, visit our website for detail including conditions of entry or email curator Dr Tim Gregory at tim@asix.org.au for more details.

We are the world’s real artists, we work for change not dollars, and we will be spreading the creative virus on February 12th 2012.

Stemming from Occupy Melbourne, the home of the ‘tent monsters meme’, this day is all about coming at things from different angles, playing with reality and having some fun in these very serious times.

All Occupiers, from all Occupations are encouraged to get creative.
